Is Pain Intolerance Related To Lymph Node Removal?

I have recently been in a car accident-- about 2 weeks ago-- where I was rear ended. This is the second time in 6 months! now, whenever I turn my head I feel crunching.. and overall I feel lousy. On top of it, I have had lymphnodes removed in the past and I have been neglecting the fact that I have had one in the same spot where I had had them removed for about 5 years now... It is painless and behind my ear. However, I am wondering if my pain intolerance is related to the lymphnode? Overall-- I m tired, sore, dizzy, and have no appetite... I haven t eaten in almost 4 days because I really can t even think about food. I m unable to sleep-- I wake up drenched in sweat when I do finally fall asleep... what is going on with me

Hi, to answer your question, pain intolerance is not related to lymph node removal but if you feel pain while turning your head it could mean a muscle or bony injury. If you feel tired, dizzy and have lost your sleep & appetite, you could have an infection running, with or without fever too because when you sweat, your body's temperature goes down, helping you feel normal and then you feel better and sleep. This is why you need to see a doctor soon to diagnose if any injury is causing the pain as well as talk to him if a blood test can be done to check your WBC count and rule out any infections.
Hope you get well soon!
